Oh and quick question. All you guys that do modify with vlite, and more than chop the size in half, what is it exactly that you are removing? Like how do you know what is OK to remove, and won't cause problems with other aplications that depend on what was removed, etc...?
vLite gives a description for every item there is to remove.

I posted a screen shot of what I did and did not remove.
I integrated my own Ethernet adapter, audio, and video card drivers, so nothing else was necessary.

How exactly would I configure Server 2008 as a workstation? As you can see, I only had the bare minimum processes and services running, and no fancy interface.

I should really take a picture of the services.msc screen on both. Let me do that now.

But, as for me erasing my DVD-RW with my custom vLite and running tests with a more bloated, stock system, sorry.

But please do let me know how to make it more workstation-ish.
